The starting bid for the Yao Bian Tianmu tea bowl was 50 million.
The people in the auction hall immediately started talking and looking at each other in bewilderment.
No one made an offer for a long time, after all, fifty million is not a small amount.
Shen Jie, who was in the private room, was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He never expected that such a broken teacup would have a starting bid of 50 million.
Seeing Shen Jie's unhappy expression, Su Ningxue, who was happy to see him, leaned close to him and comforted him, "Brother Jie, what's wrong? Why do you suddenly look unhappy?"
At this moment, Shen Jie got angry whenever he saw Su Ningxue. If he hadn't spent 20 million to buy the eagle and plum blossom painting for Su Ningxue, he wouldn't have even failed to get a starting bid.
"Damn it, I get angry just seeing you now."
Su Ningxue was completely bewildered; she had no idea where she had offended Shen Jie.
It's said that rich kids change girlfriends as fast as they change underwear, but for Shen Jie to be so indifferent to me now is a bit too fast.
Chen Daocong, who often hung out with Shen Jie, quickly guessed why Shen Jie was angry, so he quickly said, "Brother Jie, don't worry, no one in the entire Yunxi Province can afford this starting price."
"Besides, everyone at the auction knew that this teacup was something that Young Master Shen had his eye on."
"If someone dares to make an offer, wouldn't that be going against you?"
"Even if no one bids, just one phone call and the auction house will still obediently deliver this teacup to you."
"This teacup will never leave Yunnan Province."
"And the fact that no one has made a bid yet suggests that this teacup will ultimately belong to you, Young Master Shen."
Upon hearing Chen Daocong's words, Shen Jie immediately became happy.
He said with a smile, "I just like being with smart people."
“I will talk to my grandfather about your family’s company wanting to cooperate with our family company, Ah Cong.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Daocong immediately beamed with joy.
The Chen family's company has a large project that needs to be done, but they don't have enough money right now.
Chen Daocong's purpose in associating with Shen Jie was to win over Shen Jie and the Chen family to cooperate. If the Chen family could reach a cooperation agreement with the Shen family, the Chen family's status in Yunxi Province would be greatly enhanced.
However, Shen Jie's joy was short-lived; the next second, he couldn't sit still anymore.
"Eighty million!!!"
Just when the auctioneer thought all hope was lost, someone actually started making a bid.
The auctioneer was immediately delighted and picked up the gavel to strike.
"Eighty million once!"
The four young masters sitting in Shen Jie's private room were completely dumbfounded.
Who is this spendthrift son of a family? He should at least report one million at a time, but he came in and reported eighty million right away. This move completely stunned the four of them.
The auctioneer struck the gavel again.
"Eighty million for the second time!"
Just as they were about to make their third bid, someone else in the room started making another offer.
"Eighty-five million!!!"
In another private room.
"What should we do, Sister Caijie? Someone has already offered 85 million. Do you think we should still follow suit?" He Dazhu asked Ye Caijie.
Ye Caijie coldly replied, "Follow!!!"
"A bid of one hundred million!!!"
Upon hearing the number, He Dazhu's eyes widened as if they were two balloons, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Is it really one hundred million?"
Long Yueyin listened calmly, her expression not showing the shock that He Dazhu had displayed.
Do I have to say it again?
"This teacup was worth more than 100 million when we bought it."
“A price of 100 million is just the beginning for this teacup.”
He Dazhu was deeply shocked by Ye Caijie's words, which repeatedly refreshed his worldview.
He Dazhu suddenly realized that he was surrounded by wealthy women who might be hiding enormous wealth, and he immediately felt a sense of inferiority.
He Dazhu then began to quote prices.
"One hundred million yuan!!!"
He Dazhu's bid was like a thunderbolt, startling everyone in the venue. Only a few big collectors from the capital and a few big stars remained seated, while everyone else had become mere bystanders watching the spectacle.
Shen Jie was completely petrified.
Shen Jie's money is basically pocket money given by his father. Although he can earn a million a month, it's not like Ye Caijie, who can quote a sky-high price of 100 million.
Shen Jie is completely out of the game!!!
The four young masters of Yunxi were completely dumbfounded.
Even a top Douyu streamer like Su Ningxue was completely stunned. Is this the world of the rich?
Not to mention the other small-time streamers in the private room, they didn't dare to say a word.
"After the auction ends, I'll find out who this person who bid 100 million is," Sun Ming said.
Shen Jie said in a sinister tone, "After you've found out the truth, tell Luo Shanhu that he's come to eat."
Upon hearing the name Luo Shanhu, the other three young masters all smiled sinisterly.
In Yunxi Province, the sky is divided into day and night. Daytime is under the jurisdiction of the Yunxi Provincial Government, but nighttime is the domain of Luoshanhu. Anyone who wants to do business or open a company in Yunxi Province has to pay tribute to Luoshanhu.
Otherwise, don't even think about getting by in Yunxi Province.
Yunxi Province maintains close ties with Luoshanhu, who has secretly helped the four major families do many shady things.
Therefore, the four major families can be said to be mutually restraining.
Just as He Dazhu quoted a price of 100 million, someone else followed up with a price of 105 million.
The highest auction price for a Yohen Tenmoku tea bowl has been broken once again.
He Dazhu glanced at Ye Caijie, whose face only showed one word: "follow".
Soon after, He Dazhu quoted an astronomical price of 200 million yuan.
When the astronomical price of 200 million was announced, the venue fell into a deathly silence.
No one was talking about it anymore; everyone was basically silent, and no one was risking their lives to fight for the Yao Bian Tian Mu tea bowl, which was now worth 200 million.
The auctioneer struck the gavel three times in succession.
Although the auctioneer's stay was the same each time, no one dared to make a bid anymore.
And so, the Yao Bian Tian Mu tea bowl, which originally belonged to the Ye family, was ultimately acquired by Ye Caijie for an outrageously low price of 200 million yuan.
The moment the gavel fell, everything was already decided.
Ye Caijie, however, looked very sad.
Inside Shen Jie's private room, Sun Mingzhe had already begun investigating the identity of the person who had offered 200 million yuan. Through his strong connections, he finally confirmed that the person was none other than He Dazhu.
When Shen Jie heard that the person was He Dazhu, he was initially shocked, but quickly regained his composure.
"Oh, He Dazhu."
"That's fine then, just contact Falling Tiger directly."
"He can forget about taking the teacup out of Yunxi Province."
